Mexico Could Be Net Importer Of Oil By 2016

摘要

With both production and reserves declining, Mexico is set to become a net oil importer in less than a decade — a remarkable reversal for a country that is still the US' third-biggest crude supplier. The country's energy ministry is warning that, without major reforms, oil exports will drop to 289,000 barrels per day by 2016 from 1.4 million b/d at present But many independent analysts believe Mexico could already be an actual net oil importer by then (PIW Aug.25,p3).
